State record

Details

Bright Horizons is a public company. Its annual report to the SEC for 2025 (Form 10-K, filed February 2026) lists its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol BFAM. sec.gov

Large means the biggest quarter of Seattle-area’s 859 licensed centers by state-licensed capacity: 115 to 323 children. Small is 6 to 40; medium is 41 to 114.

The ages on the license are what the state licenses it to care for, which can be wider than the ages it takes.
